- Medical Weight LossThe midsection is one of the top cosmetic concerns for patients. Tummy tuck surgery can sculpt and tone the abdomen to inspire confidence in your body. Hanging abdominal skin caused by aging, pregnancy or substantial weight loss may take away from a flat stomach. Additionally, pregnancy that results in loose or stretched abdominal muscles may contribute to bulging around the midsection. Tummy tuck surgery can specifically target these conditions to create a slimmer, more contoured waistline.

- BotoxBotulinum toxin, or Botox, works by weakening the muscles of facial expression. Once the resting tone of the treated muscles is weakened, the pull of the muscles relaxes and the overlying skin flattens. This approach is different than the other local treatments for the aging face. Silicone, Collagen, Autologous Fat Transfer, Alloderm, Softform etc. all work by filling in wrinkles or depressions. These fillers are frequently not as effective as Botox in removing wrinkles in the upper third of the face. By physiologically weakening the muscles, wrinkles are removed naturally.
- Brow LiftBrow lift surgery can benefit both men and women. A brow lift can correct excess skin of the eyelids, dropping of the eyelids and wrinkles between the eyelids. As we age, a loss of skin elasticity can cause the brows to sag, leading to an older-looking appearance. In some cases, the eyebrow skin may begin to droop over the eyes, impairing vision. Wrinkles and lines between the brows can also cause a tired, angry or sad expression. Brow lift surgery is designed to lift the forehead for a youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
- Eyelid SurgeryThe specific risks and the suitability of eyelid surgery for a given individual can be determined only at the time of consultation. All surgical procedures have some degree of risk. Minor complications that do not affect the outcome occur occasionally. Major complications are rare.
